Donovan played the title role in the 鈥�90s in a sold-out, 18-month run of the biblical musical. He subsequently played the role of the Pharaoh in summer engagements at the London Palladium in 2019 and 2021 as well as a 2022 U.K. tour. He will again rock out nightly as the Pharaoh, singing "Song of the King," at the Mayflower May 13鈥�18.

In a statement former Neighbours star Donovan said, 鈥淛oseph will always hold a special place in my heart, and to return to the show in the new Palladium production and later U.K. tour as Pharaoh was an incredible experience. Southampton鈥檚 audiences were electrifying, and I can鈥檛 wait to revisit the city later this year when I play my only dates on the 2025 tour. Be sure you don鈥檛 miss out on your 鈥榙ream鈥� ticket!鈥�
